Are you following the same-sex marriage cases at the Supreme Court?

Are you following the same-sex marriage cases at the Supreme Court?

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on a challenge to California's Proposition 8, a voter-passed initiative that defines marriage in California as only between a man and a woman.

The next day, the justices will hear arguments on a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman for the purposes of federal law. DOMA, allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

We're looking for Rhode Islanders who are in Washington D.C. for this week's hearings, or those locally who are intensely following the court's actions.
